No. 901,567. Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 10, 1905. Serial No. 254,867.

the nozzle drawing into the cylinder by the consequent suction the pusor blackhead intended to be extracted. The opening of the handles willcause the expulsion of the object drawn into the cylinder by thedownward pressure of the admitted air. To raise a liquid into thecylinder the nozzle is immersed in the liquid and the operation of thehandles is repeated as with the extraction of pus or a blackhead. Itwill be seen by said drawing and description that the nozzle may beplaced upon a pimple "without grasping the cylinder so that pus or ablackhead may be extracted by motion with the use of but one hand. Ringssuch as afiixed to a pair of shears may be secured to the ends of thehandles for the better securing of the same during their operation ifdesired. The cylinder 5 is preferably made of glass owing to its 0eapness and lightness, but metal or hard rubber may be used. in itsmanufacture if desired.

Having thus described my claim as new and desire to ters Patent is:

In a pus and blackhead remover the combination of a cylinder having atapering nozzle at one end and a flange at the other end; an angular armhaving a handle and a vertical branch extending from said arm; a claspconnected to said branch having a groove penetrated by said flange forsustaining said cylinder; a lever and handle centrally fulcrumed to saidarm for the operation of said remover by the closing of said handles,and a piston in said cylinder connected by a movable rod to said leverfor drawing into said cylinder and expelling therefrom foreign matter tobe removed by said device, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

Patented Oct. 20, 1908.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. Ursorno, citizen of the United States,residing at San Jose, in the county of Santa Clara and State ing Matterfrom Inflamed Tissues, of which the following is a specification.

y invention relates to improvements in pus and blackhead he object of myinvention is to provide a device for therapid removal of pus and black-I useful Improvements in Devices for Extraotheads from pimples, and alsoto take up an exact amount of medicine or any very quantity of fluid.

My device will be found especially serviceable for the removal of matterfrom pimples commonly known as blackheads, obviating the necessity ofexerting pressure by the use of fingers or the employment of some otherpainful method as heretofore used by surgeons, barbers or other persons.

y invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of partsdescribed in the following specification, shown in the accompanyingdrawing and claimed in the appended claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawing Figure 1 represents a sideelevation of my device', Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the same, and Fig.3 is a detail of the holder.

In the figures 1 represents a frame having an angular arm, at the end ofwhich is a semicircular clasp 2 having a groove 3 in which is set theflange or rim 4 of a glass cylinder 5 having a nozzle 6. In the cylinder5 is a piston 7 connected by a link and rod 8 to a lever 9, pivotallyfulcrumed at 10. is designated by dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 2.

small invention What secure by Leting pus or a black-head, then the openhandles at the end of the fulcrumed arms are WILLIAM G. UTSCHIG. closed,causing the lever 9 to raise the piston Witnesses:

7 thereby creating a vacuum in the space be- PAUL H. MOORE,
